Cosmic SFR Density

Cosmic History of SFR Density

cosmic SFR density has its peak at z 〜 2 and monotonically decays from z 〜 1 to the present universe. What populations do contribute to the star formation at the star-forming epoch of the Universe?

Redshift Distribution

sBzK galaxies lie at 1.4<z<2.5 The galaxies without emission line detection have smaller SFR? expected detection rate is much higher (>85%), if all samples have similar SFR.

Summary

We observed 39 sBzK galaxies and Hα emission lines are detected from 23 of them. Our emission line galaxies show only a weak correlation between stellar mass and star formation rate, owing to large specific SFR galaxies. Large specific SFR galaxies are young and dusty starburst galaxies with bright 24μm flux. Low-mass young dusty galaxies would significantly contribute to the cosmic SFR density at z ~ 2
